Stremma
Encyclopedia : S : ST : STR : Stremma
The stremma (στρέμμα, plural στρέμματα) is a Greek unit of land area, equal to 1000 square metres, also called the 'royal' stremma. The name comes from a root meaning 'to turn', presumably referring to the amount of land that can be plowed/turned in a day.
The medieval or Morean stremma was different, somewhere between 900 and 1900 square meters, depending on the period and perhaps even the type of land. (Davis, 2004)
